THE FATHER, in HIS love
For sinners such as we,
Sent Jesus from above
To suffer on the tree.
How good of God His Son to give,
That we on Him might look and live.
The Son in freest grace,
The love of God displayed,
When in the sinner’s place,
He, sinless, sin was made.
What wondrous love and grace were shown,
When Jesus did for guilt atone.
The SPIRIT loves to tell
That once the Saviour died,
And He delights to dwell
On Jesus glorified;
To show to all that from His face
Shine forth the beams of heavenly grace.
As sinners, now, believe
In God’s beloved Son;
They life and peace receive,
And with the Christ are one:
They joy in God, their sins forgiven,
And soon shall dwell with Christ in heaven
